You people pick Linux to work on 68k Macs? I've been running NetBSD on Q800 off and on for over two years now and I have had a IIci running it for almost 2 years. I've not had a problem with it other than the lack of ADB support on the Q9*0 series. Why would you want the hassle of dealing with a less mature OS like Linux and not NetBSD?
